Marie Violet Blanchard, 78 of Casselberry died Sunday, December 9, 2012. Marie was born March 23, 1934 in Baltic, Connecticut to the late Rose Marie and Fred Thompson. Marie was blessed to have come from a huge family including nine siblings, six children, 14 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren and one more currently on the way. She also had a very large extended family of in-laws, nieces, nephews and cousins. Marie cherished life and all the people in it. Her sense of humor was still with her right to the end. As she said herself, she had a bit of the Irish devil in her and a mischievous twinkle in her eye. Marie loved to laugh, love and be surrounded by people and fun. She was a talented artist, writer and homemaker, but most of all, she was cherished by everyone that ever met her. She will be greatly missed! A life celebration will be held in January 2013.

I remember. I remember how you helped me to grow
with love, truth, and honesty. I remember how you helped me to choose the right path with values, morals, and self worth. I remember how you gave me dreams with hope and confidence. As I remember, I pray to be a mother like you, to shape my children into strong adults, full of hopes and dreams.You made me who I am today, and I will always remember you in life's passings for no one could touch my life as you have.
